Exciting news on the horizon for Aushopping Porte des Alpes! The shopping center located between Bron and Saint-Priest is getting a massive makeover with a brand new project called Bios, scheduled for June 2026, according to information from Actu Lyon. Out with the empty lot left by Leroy Merlin since 2019, and in with a new generation shopping space designed to blend beautifully with the transformation of the area.
An XXL project for a rapidly changing area
Porte des Alpes is a strategic spot at the entrance of Lyon, undergoing a spectacular transformation with 800 student housing units under construction near the campus, a new T8 tram line in the works, and more green spaces and modernity to move away from the era of huge parking lots and "shoe box" buildings.

In this exciting development, the promoter Nhood et Ceetrus announced on January 29, 2025, an ultra-modern commercial building covering 17,267 m², featuring a greener, denser approach that’s more compatible with new consumption habits.
Big brands and fun experiences await!
If you love shopping and immersive experiences, this new generation center is sure to delight you! The first phase will feature the arrival (or makeover) of major brands like Boulanger for home appliances and tech, Kiabi for affordable fashion, and Chaussea to get fabulous shoes without breaking the bank.

But above all, new leisure and sports areas are on the way, and they're exciting: an activity inspired by the show Fort Boyard is in the works. Who's ready to take on the challenges of the Masters of Time?
An even more ambitious second phase
The project doesn't stop there! Subject to modifications in urban planning documents, a 5,000 m² extension could come to life, featuring an expanded parking lot (360 spaces by 2026 + 300 in the long term) and flexible spaces for offices or a hotel.
In short, Porte des Alpes is reinventing itself and becoming a must-visit commercial and leisure hub in Lyon. So, are you ready to discover the future of shopping the Lyon way?
